I wonder how many people had heard of Mark Rich before Clinton pardoned him?

Ok, who the fark is Delano Abraham Nixon of Neosho Rapids, Kansas?

Sounds Republican.

Almost everyone who follows business knew who Marc Rich was even before Clinton did. Not to mention everyone who could read a news paper in the 1980's.

I'm shocked he didn't pardon John Walker Lyndh.

Nice, he pardoned an arms dealer. Guess he doesn't think anyone killing Arabs is a bad thing.

Really? I just did a Lexis Nexis search on Mark Rich prior to 2000 and turned up just a couple of stories on him. Perhaps people directly in his field had heard of him, but he had zero media presence until Clinton pardoned him.

I'm surprised he didn't pardon Satan, his benefactor and Lord.

This is just the warm up x-mas list. Just wait till Jan 20th. There will be many names everyone has heard of, including G.W. Bush.

GurneyHalleck: I'm surprised he didn't pardon Satan, his benefactor and Lord.

Not me, I figure Rove's pardon will cover it byproxy.

He pardoned a small scale counterfitter and a lady who commited mail fraud?

Now, I'm not saying it's wrong to pardon those people, but how do they even end up on his rader?

Eh, sounds like small potatoes here. I am not concerned with executive pardons of people who committed crimes and then lived normal productive lives for the next 10-40 years. If anything I am happy for these people, they didn't let a failure destroy them forever. As long as he's not pardoning murderers, rapists, big time crooks, or personal associates I'm ok with it.

/I really don't think this is a partisan issue., I apply my criteria to both sides.

Dalrint: He pardoned a small scale counterfitter and a lady who commited mail fraud?

Now, I'm not saying it's wrong to pardon those people, but how do they even end up on his rader?

You just have to ask. I've heard that they actually don't receive that many requests. And why do we then hear about these small timers getting pardoned? Because they are the ones whose crimes are forgivable.

steveo: Holy crap, no Ted Stevens? YET! I just lost $20!

FTFY, hold on to your $20 until January 19th.

Hey he pardon some victims of the weed prohibition. Might be the best domestic policy move he has ever done.

FTFA: Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, former U.S. Border Patrol agents who were convicted of shooting a drug smuggler in 2005 and trying to cover it up

These two guys need pardons more than anyone, on any list, ever.

No they don't. Not even people in the Fed think so. They abused their power, which is a very dangerous thing to allow.

Who they shot makes no difference. there is a good reason they were convicted and a good reason they will stay that way.

Foxnews and the rest have it front page. They make him out to be a hero. Violating arms embargoes when your country is declared neutral isn't really anything that should be forgiven.

They shot an unarmeed- fleeing suspect, destroyed evidence, and attempted a cover-up. The guy involved may have been a bad person, but the law doesn't care. And for goos reason. Officers are given great power, and they have great responsibility with it.

If those two border guards don't get a pardon, I just might start watching Lou Dobbs again, just so I can watch him whine and cry and get all uppity.

Those guys deserve prison. If they didn't think they had done anything wrong, they wouldn't have tried to cover it up. They broke the law by doing so, and must do their time.

You don't know what you're talking about! There was no cover up. The jury that convicted them, after it was over and they heard ALL the evidence, said they would not have convicted them. It's sad that a jury never gets to hear everything. But in this case these border agents were railroaded.

No, they weren't. They covered it up. The jury didn't get to hear the victims record, for the very reason that they would have felt different.

Read the Fed's case. The fed doesn't have an interest in railroading federal agents. They broke the law. Pull your head out of your ass and turn Lou Dobbs off.

If you think letting cops cover-up crime scenes and lie is good for America, you're an idiot. Anytime a cop lies on a report, they need to go away for a long time, cause the only thing that keeps justice afloat is the cops being honest.

watch the news wire tomorrow night to see who else gets pardoned.

Do your research idiot. Their superiors showed up on site within minutes of the incident. Thats why there was no formal written report because it was reported immediately first hand.

LOL, bullshiat bro. You don't chose to do a written report or not. They lied, they tried to cover it up. No question.

I suppose you believe the Mexican government pushed for the convictions too? Corsi tell you that?

Bad cops need to go to prison. Even if they are only shooting worthless Mexicans.

Lame duck pardons are wrong, and should be illegal. Period. Weather your last name is Bush or Clinton. If you can't face the political consequences of your pardons, you shouldn't be making them.
